39. FA Technology Tools Questions
?

40. Exploring FA Tools
Based on the tools that you just learned
how to use, choose one to learn more
about and spend 15 minutes exploring
its functions. Share it with your partner,
as well as two other people. In your
group of four, share something new you
learned about a FA tool on the
Lino canvas.

you will perform formative
assessments in the future

42. Formative Assessment Plan
Thinking about an upcoming lesson that
you would like to improve. How will you
use these technology tools to adjust

with your group of four. Choose one

Goal 4:
Create a formative
assessment
using a technology tool

44. Explore Using a Different FA Tool
Even though you have already selected
one technology to use this school year, it
is very unlikely that you will use only
one. Choose a technology tool that you
are uncomfortable with to explore
further. For 10 minutes, practice using
this tool and create a plan for how you
would use this tool.

45. Share About Different FA Tool
Within your group of four, share your
thoughts on this different FA tool. Does
it meet your needs? Would you
recommend it to other? Why or why
not? Choose one person out of your
group to share their thoughts on the
Lino canvas.

46. Teach vs Tech
Remember, it’s not about the
technology, it’s about the tool. While
these formative assessment tools are
very effective, sometimes no-tech
options are a better solution.
